The "Currylicious" Indian Restaurant in Deluth, GA

            While visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughters in Suwanee, Georgia this past weekend, I had the pleasure of dining with them and other friends at an authentic Indian (Asian) restaurant.  Operated by Indian chefs, Fateema and Azym Hooda, "Currylicious" offers a vast traditional, homestyle Indian menu, plus a wide selection of beer and wine.  The cuisine is made from authentic Hooda family recipes, baked and cooked to order with fresh daily ground spices, available in meat, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free versions, and is sold at a reasonable price, usually around 10 to 12 dollars a dish.  The food is attractively prepared and comes in a serving size big enough for two. 

            My group tried the Papad (a thin, deep fried crisp wafer) with a cilantro condiment, the Cauliflower 65 (Cauliflower cooked with various ingredients, spices, and sauces cooked in a high temperature Chinese wok), the Half Tandoori Chicken (chicken marinated in ginger, garlic, lemon, sour cream, and spices before being cooked sizzling hot in a traditional Tandoor clay oven), the Chicken Makhanwala, aka Butter Chicken, (chopped chicken cooked in a rich tomato based sauce with herbs, then finished with butter and topped with cream), as well as other dishes too many to list.  I myself tried the Goat Masala, a dish made from chopped goat meat, with bones and all, cooked in onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, chili, spinach, and spices.  Most dishes were also served with Basmati Rice, and most of us added an order of Garlic Naan (flat bread baked in a clay oven) to our meal as well.  We all allowed sharing and taste testing by the others, and as a result, experienced an expanded culinary experience that we could never have had by dining alone.  We all agreed that the food and restaurant was very worthy of being recommended to others.

            Bottom line, if you like Indian food, or if you want to try Indian food, and you happen to find yourself near the small suburb of Duluth, Georgia, stop in at "Currylicious" and give it a try.  "Currylicious" is located at 2400 Satellite Blvd.; Deluth, Georgia 30096.  You can see more of their menu and hours of operation on-line at http://mycurrylicious.com/.
